This means anybody bitten by a dog needs to go through with the pain and expense of rabies shots, since the dog owner may simply lie about the dog's vaccination history

Can you really just lie about a rabies shot? I guess if you get bitten at the dog park and take the owners word? My dog has his rabies vaccination number on his tag. If it goes to LLE I thought they’d put the dog down to check for rabies during the autopsy. Regardless I’d still keep my dog current on all of his vaccinations, but I could never live with myself if my dog ended up dying because of me.

My dog and I were attacked last year by an off-leash dog while walking our neighborhood. Both myself and the other owner had to provide proof of rabies vaccination to animal control. Their dog drew blood on me and mine punctured the other dog's ear while defending me. If they couldn't provide proof, or if there was history of previous human bites the dog would have been put down. In my state, anyway.

The vaccine I usually hear people turning down out here is the rattlesnake venom vaccine.
